[30m] Net Details

[Karl F. Larsen]

    Hi Risto, I was just tuning the 30 meter band with my PSK31 turned 
on and heard lots of CW below 10.120 and just win2000 pactor stations 
above. They seem to be doing well. I called CQ on 10.139 with no luck 
but guess there is no digital hams on the band now. The time is 2130Z.
